Medallion Collar Continued

It's taken me quite a lot of time and testing so far and I'm still not sure I've found a solution I'm completely happy with!  That corner area between the medallions is proving tricky!  The other complication is that you're working with just one shuttle on the last round where you are making all the rings which means you can only move from one place to the next by carrying the thread over (can't make chains).  I'm looking for a solution that looks as close as possible to the original, which looks good of course, and executable with one shuttle only!



I've still decided to go with the first two rounds with a small modification and eventually cut all my testing bits so I could film the next part.  Back to just the medallions:


If you're interested in tackling this collar, you can find the videos in this playlist.

And here's where I'm at now:


A bit more testing for the next round required but hopefully I'll come to a solution soon.

Best wishes,
Frivole

  2. It looks good as is, too, although it probably won't hold shape? Your patience and perseverance is amazing.

  5. I have been saving the videos to watch them later and perhaps attempt this on my own (although I am not sure I have the patience). Perhaps it's time to watch them today!
